Glenda Sue Miller, 81, went to be with her Lord and Savior on January 22nd, 2022 surrounded by her family. She was born in Texarkana, Arkansas on September 15th, 1940 to Sid and Dovie McDowell. Glenda grew up in Ogden, Arkansas and attended Ashdown High School where she lead the Ashdown girls basketball team to the state playoffs and was named to the all state team.

As much as she loved that job, her true love was her family. Each of her children, Joel and Judith, married and blessed her with 3 granddaughters who quickly became the greatest joys of her life.
Throughout her life, Glenda enjoyed playing tennis, cooking, traveling, and going to razorback games to call those hogs. She was a devoted member of Fairview Methodist Church where she loved to sing in the choir and volunteer in the Country Store.
